5 Deen spirited through
out the season and the
figures given below do
not i'll all cases indi-
cate how close the
S tr uggle was. The
splendid silver bat
goes to Elmer Foster,
OF Minneapolis, whose
average is AIS. Crooks,
of st. Paul, led his
team, his average at
the end of the season
being .395. He also
led Foster the larger
part Of the base ball
year, but the latter'S
phenomenal showing
the last few weeks car
ried him to victory.
For the first month or
two McCauley, Of st.
Paul, showed up best
at the bat, but about
the middle of the sea-
son he lost his eye"
for the ball and did
not recover it until in
the last six weeks.
Cleveland was also a
dangerous competitor,
and once or twice had
the lead. His hitting
was at times phenom-
enally strong. and his
average, .373, is a re-
markably good one,
being made up almost
entirely of real hits;
Grover" wouldn't ac-
cept a base on balls if
the pitcher put the ball
where he could reach
it.
The pitchers medal
goes to BILLY" Sow
ders, of st. Paul. This
was announced to be
presented to the pitch
er i'll either St. Paul or
Minneapolis who best
fielded his position
when in the box, and
SowderS beats Viau by
one point in a thou
sand, Duryea and the
Minneapolis pitchers
coming in twenty to
thirty points behind.
The home-ruh medal
was easily won by
Cleveland. His long
hits ON which he made
the complete circuit
were all over the left
field fence, several of
tn e m well down
toward the center cor
ner. There is proba-
bly, no player in any
league who can send a
ball farther with the
willow than Cleve-
land. O'Brie n, of
Washington, once with
st. Paul, hits the
ball almost as hard
as Cleveland, but
he doesn't hit it so
often. Crooks, Will
mot and Foster each
made three home runs
on the St.Paul grounds
and Burch two. One
each were also made
by Moriarity, of La
Crosse; Wilson. of
Oshkosh; Rocks, of La
Crosse; Reilly, of Eau
Claire, and Williams,
of Milwaukee. Cleve-
lands record is eight
home runs in regular
games. He also swung
around the circle in
the game played with
Eau Claire May 81.
This, however, does
not count. as the game
was ordered played
over.
McCauley leads all
competitors in fielding.
The GLOBE offered no
prize for fielding, as
the players are not Oh
an equal footing. The
pitchers, catcherS and
first baSemen have a
far better chance for a
big average than the
other players.
The prizes will be
presented to the win
er of the GLOBE staff

the sides and front of the structure az

THE we'll known Gen. Benz. f. Butler
was in his youth destined by his moth
er to become a Baptist minister, and
she sent him to Waterville College for
preparation. Mr.. Bland relates that
one of the professors delivered a ser
mon in the chapel, in which he said /:
81. None but the elect can be saved.
2. OF so-called Christians probably not
more than one in a hundred will be
saved. 8. Heather people will have
more consideration of the Almighty in
future life than men of Christian ma
tions, who hear but do not profit by the
word of God" After hearing this SER
mon the young Butler petitioned the
faculty to relieve him from further at
tendance upon preaching, upon the
ground that according to the proportion
stated, not above six persons in the
college could possibly be saved; and as
there were nine worthy professors, all
of whom were doctors of divinity, it
would be presumptuous for him, a poor
student, to hope for even the remotest
chance of salvation; hence in attending
church he was only making his damna-
tion more certain and terrible.

excellent original and selected matter

The January number contained like
ness of Rev. DR.. w. e. Marley; and the
March number is to contain a likeness OF
Rev. Joseph Ward, one OF the fathers,
with a short biography. The publisher
makes the following announcement:

upon years Of pastoral labor, has now de-
termined to return to his professional
duties again, and will once more settle

with the magazine consequently ceases
with this number, save as he will con-
tribute to its pages as he finds oppor-
tuDity.
The withdrawal of the junior editor
will make no change in the magazine, ex-
cept that it will be edited and published
by Rev. L. FL. Tabor instead of the firm,
as formerly.

THANKS TO THE BRETHREN.

To the many friends throughout the United
States and Canada, who so generously re-
sponded to my appeal for literature, return
thanks. A goodly number of persons have
signified willingness to send their papers
each week to some address l might fur
nish. A good number here are receiving the
papers in that way, and hope to increase
the number each week.
Any persons desiring names can obtain
such by communicating with the under
signed. Here is an opportunity to do efficient
missionary work for the small sum of one
cent per week. ANY number of names can
be furnished. Let me hear from you, breth-
rem. Place your papers in our Canadian
homes, where they will speak comfort to
many now sitting in the valley and shadow
of lingering DEATH"

AN ARTICLE on the first page en-
larges very sensibly on the opportu-
nifty which opens before our church to
present rational interpretations of the
Bible, in connection with the study of
the International Lessons. We submit
that this opportunity is well improved
by those who prepare these lessons for
our periodicals. Many jump to the
conclusion that because the lessons are
identical in form with those which are
studied in the orthodox Sunday schools,
they are not substantially different in
treatment. This is a great mistake.
An examination Of the lessons will
prove that those concerned in their
production, not only understand their
opport unity, but successfully improve
it. We know of ministers who could
add very largely to their stock of i'm
portant information by a careful study
of these lessons as they appear in THE
UNIVER sALIsr.

misunderstanding" The condition on
which Mr.. Hume may return is stated
very concisely. In common fairness
he cannot accept his commission if he
reserves to himself any privileges of
teaching or preaching this doctrine
while in the employ of the American
Board.
So far as we have seen, Mr.. Hume
has not, as yet, definitely accepted his
commission to return. The question
comes, will he accept under this condi-
ton, with the distinct understanding
that he is not to teach or preach the
OFFENSIVE doctrine? The question is,
therefore, narrowed down to Mr.. Hume
himself. The Board makes clear ten
der of the paddock. Will Mr.. Hume
accept it, and go back to India, pledged
to keep his mouth shut on the question
OF all questions in which the heather
world is interested ? Possibly the i'd
vance and Independentin their comments
on the case may help materially to has
ten his decision.

LESSONS IN BIBLE UNIvERsALIsM.
Questions and Answers.

The Publishing House has just issued
leahet of eight pages, containing three
Lessons in Bible Universalism. The first
is on the conflict between Good and Evil,
the second on the Divine Fatherhood,
aud the third on the Final Restoration.
These lessons are not only well adapted
for the Sunday-school, but they make an
excellent tract for general distribution.
Let our friends order and scatter these
leaves "for the healing of the nations"
They are published at price which sug-
gests their missionary circulation, viz: 70
cents per hundred-less than one hum
dred, one cent each, postage paid. These
leaves should circulate to the extent of
fifty Or hundred thousand copies IN the
next few months. Circulate them at the
Easter meetings.

ignorant as not to know that a man
may have very good principles with a
very poor practice?" As to Universal
ism, it, above and before all other faiths,
has been an incentive to missionary
zeal. 1t appears in the planting and
training of the Christian church" In
the first sermon ever preached, result
ing in the conversion of three thousand
souls, there is a singular lack of appeals
peculiar to orthodoxy. The very object
of salvation, the final work, is, ''Save
yourselves from this untoward gener-
tion." Acts ii, 40. And in the second
sermon the explicit statement occurs
of 1.-The times of the restitution of all
things which God hath spoken by the
mouth of all his prophets since the
world began" and it concludes, Unto
you first, God, having raised up his Son,
Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning
away every one of you from his iniqui-
ties" Oh. iii. 26. In Samaria, where
Phillip, who afterward passed through
all cities until he came to Casarea, pro-
duced great revival, the people of one
accord giving heed to him, it simply
says, 'He preached Christ unto them"
So with the great missionary apostle,
Paul, who filled not only "Ephesus but
all Asia with his doctrine" and was
the leading spirit among those who
"turned the world upside down." His
fundamental position was in exact ac-
cord with Universalism, that "God hath
purposed in himself that in the dispen-
sation of the fulness of time, he might
gather together in one, all things in
Christ, both which are in heaven, and
which are on earth, even in him." Eph.
/, 10. That this is not an effort at
special pleading may be seen by study
of the word itself, and what is the tone
and tenor of the apostolic ministry.
The vital need of the church, and the
times, is to return to it, and like mo-
mentOus results would follow. AS Max
Muller has said, when pointing out the
failures of orthodoxy, on account OF
its dogmas, to produce adequate results
of the vast expenditure of it's resources,
''The fundamentals of our religion are
not in these poor creeds; true Christ
ianity lives, not in our belief, but in
our love; in our love of man, founded
on our love of God"
Let missionaries preach the gospel
again, as it was preached when it began
the conquest of the Roman Empire,
and the Gothic nations; when it had to
struggle with powers and municipalities,
with me-honored religions and trium-
plant PHILOSOPHERS, with the pride of
civilization and savagery of life, and
conversion was not question to be
settled by the acceptance or rejection OF
certain formulas or articles. A simple
prayer was often enough: "God be
merciful to me sinner" LIB.

WORTHY THE PATRONAGE OF UNI
VERSALISTS.

Rev. j. K. Street, the pastor of the
First Universalist church, Dallas, Texas,
is doing mission work in that field.
He began services there three months
since with three Universalists, and he
lately organized a church and parish
with tweniyfour members. He breaches
twice every Sunday, and being editor
and proprietor of Streets Monthly, a
neat, large sized, eight-page family paper,
he is doing double work; but as he is
mainly dependent upon the income from
his paper for support, we trust that
every Uniyersalist and friend to our
cause who reads this notice will send him
Que dollar, for one years subscription to
his excellent journal. Each issue CON
tains one or more of his sermons, which
alone they will find well worth the sub
scription price.

DIR. CLEANLINESS Note Book, recently
published and noticed elsewhere in this

which embrace about as strong testimony
as any one could offer against the doc
trine of endless punishment: ga universe
requiring endless pain for its security
Is not this blasphemous against its Au-
thor and against holy spirits?" Infinite,
endless punishment would make hell the
most interesting spot in the universe.

THE Boston Evening Gazette puts on
record this estimate of Rev. Sam Jones:
''He is cheap and comic version OF
Joseph Cook, with vulgar coarseness
and an obtuseness of intellect wholly
his own. In common with his popular
prototype, he is windy, Illogical, and
intoIerant. The manner in which he
deals with things sacred is offensive to
every refined and intelligent sentiment.
Now that we have the Gazette'S idea OF
Jones, it would be interesting to know
how Joseph Cook feels when presented
to the public in a comic edition.

LAST WEEK it was our agreeable
duty to report the large accessions to
our Muncie, Qnd.) church. This week
we are also permitted to announce the
result of a series of meetings at Ell
dorado, Ohio. Fifty-two accessions to
church membership at Muncie and six
ty-nine at Eldorado This is an excel
lent, we may say splendid, record for
the beginning of the Easter revivals
in our parishes. Other churches are
arranging for special services. AT Oak
Park special meetings will be held every
Sunday evening until after Easter with
church membership the end in view.
No doubt the Eastertide of 'S7 will close
with even a more encouraging record
than that of last year. Prepare for the
Easter harvest all along the line

LETTER FROM REV. DIR. BALCH.
TARPoN Spring, FIa., Feb. IA, 1888

TABPoN SPRING, Fla, Feb. IA, 1887.
To the Editor of The U,aiUersalist:,
Seeing we have church here and a
minister have thought a brief letter,
descriptive of the place and condition of
affairs might interest your readers, and
so | sit down to indite one.
We came here ON the LIST inst. from
Tampa, after the stay of a week there to
rest from the fatigue of tedious jour
ney of delays and miss-connections. The
ride of four and half hours to this place,
through pine forest, with here and
there an orange grove just startinR-the
hope of future prosperity-wefound very
pleasant as well as comfortable. We at
once reported to Br. Webster,
Bishop of this Diocese.
He gave MS a cordial welcome and found
us ample camping ground in the very
excellent hotel; where we pitched and
are still abiding, more than satisfied,
greatly pleased with all Herewith con-
nected. 1t belongs to the Land Com
pany which bought, began, and have de-
veloped this into one of the pleasantest
and most healthful abiding places we
have ever seen in Florida. It is located
on bayou, less than two miles from the
Gulf, which is reached by a winding
channel of some five or six miles. The
grounds are rolling and, it is said, the
soil is well suited to the production of
oranges, lemons, figs, apricots and semi
tropical fruits, as we'll as garden vege-
tables, under proper cultivation. To a
Northern farmer or gardener this light
sand does not look very inviting, but to
many

perity and more hopeful spirit in the
pages of this issue. We infer that the
readers are beginning to understand that
Br. Tabor needs better support to make
this magazine self-sustaining and to COM
pensate him for the work which he con-
scientiouely puts into it as editor. We
can cheerfully recommend the magazine
as an excellent missionary journal for the
Western States, and hope its numerous
friends will continue with it and that
their numbers may be increased.

Rev. E. L. Conger I'D page), Rev. DR..
Balch and Rev. Lee Fairchild, from Cal

descriptive Of his recent trip to Cuba.
We keep close watch over our minis
terial friends on vacation, and gener-
ally follow them up with suggestions OF
correspondence for our pages.
